Alexandra A W I heard there were a lot of adult fans of all genders at the second venue :( sigh the teenager default is easier for local media to digest? so sad
Hello! I'm 35 with 2 teenager kids and I love BTS... suffering from anxiety and panic attacks and have been through so much but they are one of the reasons why I'm happy. I was there on the 5th together with my whole fam and we definitely had a great time. You can't just say and keep repeating the word (teenager) coz they have fans from all ages. There's english translation of their lyrics too if you want to understand what are they singing about. But for me just hearing their voices and the melody of the songs gives me comfort. Thanks for the news coverage anyways.😊
omg I suffer from anxiety as well (I'm 18 but whatever) and I totally relate... I hope you're having a good day and if you went to their concert well I hope it was a memorable experience ^^ Have fun and happiness in your life !
@@tiramisunsun I used to be outgoing but then eversince I got sick I'm kinda like introvert now. I'm doing fine and I hope you are too. I had a great time at their concert and I took my whole family with me including my hubby. Thanks for the comforting words truly Army is family.
I can totally relate! I was feeling down lately and by accident stumbled into Kpop music and now I listen to the music to lift my mood, make me feel happy, forget about my problems until another day. It's great music.! Also, I think it takes me back to a more innocent time and that sometimes hard-to-find with American music.
@@jealvarado68 yeah I totally agree, all you hear is that mumble rap talking bout money, flexing, girls, and cursing a lot and the lyrics don't really mean anything. I discovered kpop coz of 2ne1 and Bigbang. I was a VIP then I stumbled unto BTS now I'm also an ARMY. Then I discovered more groups as I got deeper into this kpop world...lol I'm not really into girl groups eversince 2ne1 disbanded. I'm more into boy groups but I can listen to some girl groups songs though. Hope your doing great too and stay strong...be happy 😊
For real though. Ugh so small minded. And just because there are so fan that happens to be teenager and girls that doesn't mean all of the fandoms is one age and gender. And yes I happend to me a girl and a teenager, but who sad all of ARMY are teens?!
what even Literally most of the people in the crowd look older than me (I’m 18). Sure, the majority may be females and they look young, but they don’t look any younger than 20 to me. I’ve watched a lot of concert videos (especially from rose bowl), and there are teenagers and kids scattered around but the majority look to be in their early 20s.
@what even The thing with American tv shows is ... These shows put teen girls to the front on purpose. People who were on ellen said that were where a diverse crowd outside waiting for bts, but the ellen staff came out and purposefully picked out only good looking teen girls to meet them and cheer them up in the studio.
I'm 38, big hardcore guy who drive Harley's Davidson and lifted truck. After listening to some of their songs, I'm came an ARMY!! "Fake Love" got me real good!
I’m 52 years, have been Army since 2013 when Kookie just be a little boy. I feel like they were my kids and love them all equally. I’m not Korean and not k-pop fan. I’m only BTS fan.
I am 68 and a BTS fan - not Kpop.If I had the Beatles in the 60’s , I am very lucky and bless to have BTS this time in my retirement age. Their messages and songs are for all generations. Their life experiences and struggles relate to most people regardless of age, color, gender and race.💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Aria - Yes, I'm a 56 years old Army. Its annoying to keep hearing reporters and TV news saying that BTS fans are teenagers. Can't he see there are also young n older adults n grandparents during his Live reporting? Smh... Thank you!💜
Hate that teenager comment, the fans are not only teenagers or girls. I’m 30 and an army. They fans are all ages, genders and skin color. I’m tired of news making it seems like there is only teen fans or girl fans. Omg
They thought just because teenagers fans are active and are larger in number, there is no adult fans. Anyway, every band/singers have larger teenagers fan base and there is no surprise for BTS having larger teenage fans as well... I'm 32 yo father and I follow BTS closely..
They go for the simplistic explanation always. It’s lazy. That’s the mo of news orgs now. Plus it fits their preconceived notions. It’s easier to stereotype things like this.
I am 45 years old and have been in love with BTS as one of army since my daughter introduced me Bangtan a few years ago. BTS is beyond ages and generations.
And they had to put here an answer of that older woman who doesn't care about BTS at all. I'm kind of annoyed with her, how could she not even ask her child what this group is singing about?
I'm ARMY who also happens to be 39yrs old. The demographic for BTS ARMY ranges from 20's to 60's and genders as well. It is not a teen craze. BTS is the light in our darkness. Their music pulled me out of a deep depression, due to my onset of epilepsy suddenly out of nowhere. Their music has also helped millions of people in their lives too, no matter what they are going through. Their music knows no barriers. If you don't understand what their saying there's a caption button for a reason lol. Bottom line is that we are ARMY strong from all ages so please remember that the next time you do a story. 💜
There are parents that are accompanied by their children. Not all fans are juvenile and hormonally imbalanced. A.R.M.Y is an active and diverse fandom and is not limited to female teenagers. We actually have “noona” older women fans and male fans.
I met a middle aged woman in line who was brought by her son who appeared to be 30ish? Wait, I'm middle aged too. Lol. JK is her bias and she had a picture of him with her. Too cute! Now I want to know if her son ended up becoming a fan.
Y'all are blind we can see clewrly that they are on every ages. Not mostly teenagers omg! Most age range of BTS ARMYS are from 20+ till older.. Me and my family are ages from 25 and up and we are BTS ARMY!
@@jenken28 What she means is that they always stereotype ARMYs as "teenagers" when in reality there are teenagers BUT plenty of people who are older and who listens their music as well. By saying that their fans are only teenagers it lowkey seems to mean that BTS isn't that deep or is just for females who are excited to see handsome men like NO it's much more than that Now, there are teenagers who are mature, of course, and a lot of them actually listen for the music, not their faces. I'm just saying that's how people can interpret it..
@@jenken28 you clearly didn't read and understood my comment. I said most are adults not teenagers i didn't say no younger ones. Minors like you should be acompanied by adults get it? Respect your elders just an advice. But anyway ARMYS are family.
@@tiramisunsun yes thanks that is exactly the point. People from all ages love BTSS for their music not just their looks. ARMYS are not just a bunch of fangirls or fanboys but shared a deep thoughts of life through BTS music. I hate Kmedias still down grading BTS success tbh.
I’m 22 and most of my friends who love BTS are in college. Boys and girls, btw. One of my guy friends fell in love with Spring Day and became their fan. But I’m not surprised the American news says things like this, they’re experts at twisting things they look down upon. Just enjoy the concert ARMY!!! You are all becoming a part of each other’s lives just by sharing the experience~ who cares if they get it wrong, we know what’s right: our boys love us, and we love them!
“Teenagers” I was there during rose bowl day 2, and trust me, 90% of the crowd there were well over 20 years old, and only about 10% of them were smaller teenagers. Not only this, but I saw people of all genders and ethnicity. So please. PLEASE stop generalizing ARMYs.
I was at the show on Sunday screaming my heart out for Jin and everyone in bts and guess what I'm in my thirties. Also did I mention my wig was snatched. So teens are not the only one going crazy for BTS.
All of the ARMYs were really sweet, especially Lauren whom I think a lot of us fans can relate to. BTS have touched our lives deeply in ways where it's hard to even express fully with words. I hope all the ARMYs attending the tour have fun, enjoy the experience & love themselves more! 💜
Im 28 and my Girlfriend is 26 my mom is 65. We are ARMY since 2016. Huge respect for teen ARMYs but please don’t put ARMYs out as crazy teen girls cuz bro first our fandom consists of huge age bracket, second we aint crazy we’re passionate and third our fandom has a huge number of fanboys
Same here bro. I am also a hige fan of BTS same with my wife going to see them this Saturday, and my mom thinks they are very talented but isn't ARMY yet but working on it. 😁
There were definitely more than just teens at the concert but otherwise it was really nice seeing everyone just be happy and really thankful that BTS helped them through hard times
Great coverage and loved that you guys touched on how music can transcend language! But it's a shame that there will always be the social stigma that BTS (or boy groups in general) are only for crazy-in-love teenage girls. It would've been nice to see male fans being interviewed or older fans, and not just parents chaperoning their children.
Yep! And when you watch this video, you can allready see so many fans of all ages and male fans walking by the camera and still they say teenagers, sad.
Thanks for the spot on the BTS concert... Just FYI, a poll back in 2017 found that less than 20% of ARMY are teenagers (with over 50% over 30)... and a more recent poll found that there is a larger base over 40 than before. And I am seeing a lot of people older than teenage years in the video footage.... I get there was more than what we see in the clip, but the fanbase is VERY diverse in age, gender, nationality, language, and age.... Peace.
Research before you put the story out. Teens are not the only fan group for BTS unless you want to downplay BTS X Army power. Please get out of that teens only groupies idea. We are living in a different world now. I am probably BTS members grandmother's age and their music got me through the worst time of my life.
im not a teenager but i guess thnx for covering this big news i've been their fan since 2014 im so happy and proud of them talent wins in the end so inspiring and so kind people
Hey, I'm a bigger ARMY than my daughters, too. I feel ya on the "rabid fans" headlines. So annoying. While waiting for parking, we had a cop ask us about the fandom. She said she was amazed that the fandom was so diverse and of all ages. She wanted to know what we liked about BTS. When we told her she said she might have to look into them. Woo Hoo!!! A new ARMY is born.
@@yoonjinlife9579 All the Armys around me are above 20. I am sure BTS has lots of teenage fans, but to sprout the word "teens" 10 times in a 3 minutes video seems like too much!!
Thank you!! I am so done this Behind the scene name. Those are the new fans that made that up. We older fans are old school and will say the right name for BTS. But thank you for saying that too so i am not the only one. 👍
@@magicshop96 so they are now Behind The Scene because newer fans say it is so they have to change their name while in the states?? I will keep calling them by their real name thank you. I am sorry if that came off mean but you can call them whatever you want.
@@magicshop96 sorry yeah it was hard for me to come up with something that didnt sound too mean but i failed. But yeah I am an older fan, but well it is what it is.
ARMY isn’t just teenagers and girls. We are a family. A family of all ages and identities. We love and support BTS and each other. Love y’all ARMY! 💜Whether you’re a ARMY or not always remember you’re amazingly beautiful inside and out and also love y’all!💜
The assumption always seems to be that the adults are just chaperones of some sort. I’m a 65 yo BTS fan who flew from ATL to Fort Worth last year just for a BTS concert. My twitter feed is filled with fans 20-72 years old, both male & female. I have two sisters, 68 & 62, who knew BTS won Top Group/Duo at the BBMAs this year almost as soon as I did... they are >thisclose< to becoming part of the BTS ARMY... lol. If you view some of the demographic samples, you will see that the majority of BTS fans range in the 20-50 yo categories which is far higher than the age groups of other currently popular artists. The “teenager” descriptive is definitely overused by the media IMO.
33years old And i'm a proud ARMY.. If one of the mother only accompany her doughter, it doesn't mean the other older do so, i bet a lot of older ARMY also there, it just we dont showing much, we more calm and not that expresive..even tho our heart gonna explode knowing will meet the boys..
Are you serious?!!! I'm 26. My mother who is 44 is ARMY. I was at the concert on 5/4 and I saw so many men and people of all ages and the majority aren't there just to accompany their kids. Ridiculous. Do your research.
Many of these ppl you are showing are in their 20's and 30's. But no, you have to interpreting them as teenagers. Is US news incompetent or trying to manipulate public opinion?!
'teenagers' again. I'll be 30 next year, and people keep calling us teenagers. you all took this video yourself, but you can't even digest that there are tons of mature ARMY here. media is always media
And then you have the nerve to say "fans of all ages" and interview an older woman who knows nothing about them just to further push the agenda of "screaming teenage girls" How rude and insulting!!
How many times do we have to tell you that most BTS fans are not teenagers? I'm 33, a nurse who loves BTS for their music, lyrics, songwriting and composing skills, live performances, but most of all their personalities. Stop this false narrative about their fans!!!
yall starting to get annoying with this. we are passionate and strong but yall gotta stop with the “frenzy, rabid, fangirl” type of mindset. people are speaking real things here and are overlooked because they’re just “brainless fangirls” this is why people are still finding it hard to welcome BTS’ success, because they are associating it with this fangirl narrative rather than the true experience of being a member of the ARMY. BTS are not just views and numbers. listen to the words they are saying and discuss their impact on our lives. *sigh.* anyways, support artists Bangtan Sonyeondan. they are legends.
Also thr guy interviewed the 1 and only woman who has no clue who they are and what they are saying. Bias news is at it again. Bias against BTS and ARMY. Also,thank you for saying the right name. 😁
I am 64 and am proud to hold claim to being #BTSARMY .... You keep labeling ARMY as teenagers & you purposely chose a woman to say what she did ... WHY?? Start interviewing & showing the correct image of the fandom ...your news broadcasting labeling as you do has gone past irritating... why don't you try bringing news to public using the truth 😲 try something new!!
Donna L. Padilla I am 70. I am proud to be an Army too. I came to know them just last year. I have since felt so close to them already. They are truly my boys, so humble and down to earth n full of gratitude towards everyone.
The stigma of boyband = teen fans 🙄. I was at both D1 & D2 of their Rosebowl Stadium Concert and on D2 this was said “Where ever you’re from, whatever you’re speaking, or however old you are...tonight we are one.......At the same time you guys were BTS and we were your Army” - Kim Namjoon. Let that sink in. I am 30......and am a fan! Fans come in all different forms and not just teens sir!
51 year old ARMY here and I was at that concert! ARMY represented BTS well in this little clip. ARMIES are good people. It was the nicest crowd I've ever seen. 💙💛❤🖤💜💚🧡
It's not only teenagers who love bts for God sake, when they say it like that we can all get the meaning behind it, I am 25 I am not teen at all , my entire environment friends family are not teen , they love bts and I am not the only one even dad loves them
MAIN DEMOGRAPHIC IS 20s! SECOND LARGEST 30s!! Please stop with the teenage/pre-teen narrative. There's nothing wrong with young fans, but it's not accurate. The footage you are showing is negating your own script for heaven's sake!!
I'm 20 and my dad is 50, we're both army since 2014, a year BeFoRe their debut!!!!! There was not just teenagers there, loads and loads of adults were there if you didn't notice. God news get the facts straight please or some people won't stop bothering you.
I'm 17 and I'm Army almost 3yrs. My life when I ain't meet bts yet was so miserable. I used to cut my class, just to hang out with my friends and Drink.I'm always fighting someone in our school, thats why I ended up to detention. I used to Hate them too. But when I was down they helped me so much, not literally but though their music. That Inspires me everyday, to change my life for the better. [Sorry for the Grammars hehehe] Ph Army here💜
Can you do your homework before reporting something like this Carlos? Just because we look young and joyful doesn't mean we are all teenagers. You had a chance to witness something amazing and positive yet your ignorance still decides to show.
@Mic Jack Have you been to any type of large crowd event, from music to sports? This "screaming" is staple to all of them. Don't act like adults don't scream. We do.
⚠️WARNING FELLOW ARMYS⚠️ If you are going to the concert, keep in mind that there will be MANY news reporters. Please don't show them the "teenage girl" side of the ARMY and fangirl on camera. Show them how philosophical their messages are and how they do so much to give back. Make sure to tell them how they've helped many people around the world with their positive messages during rough times. Any other things you find interesting and important too! Thank you so much! 💜💜💜💜
Its 2019 and still people think 'armys are all teens'😤 there were so many 20s and 30s armys at the venue, parent armys who went wt their kids, armys even postd a video of an elderly grandma accompanied to her seat by a staff member. Armys are very diverse and its time to understand it.
Yeah of course they have kid/teen fans (like myself) but they have fans of all ages and genders, I think that’s what’s amazing about army is that we’re not just one category type of fans. The fandom is diverse.💜😌

I was at the show on Sunday screaming my heart out for Jin and everyone in bts and guess what I'm in my thirties. Also did I mention my wig was snatched. So teens are not the only one going crazy for BTS.
I'm 51 and I lost my voice at that concert after screaming for all the guys. I love them all.
"Mostly teenagers"... Not people!!!
We are diverse
I'm 30.
I’m 28. I’ve been with bts since debut and we are almost the same age. Please correct this thanks.
I bet the reporter guy thinks the 7 members are teenagera as well. 😂😂
Im 28 too!!
I haven't been a teenager for over 7 years, and about 99% of ARMY know we can look up translations.
No one:
Literally no one:
News reporter: there are so many teenagers here😑
Adults: Yes thank you 😋
I am 29yrs.old a mom already but an "army"...
I know of somebody who's 49 and is an Army.
I know of someone who's 49 and is an Army...
All of the ARMYs were really sweet, especially Lauren whom I think a lot of us fans can relate to. BTS have touched our lives deeply in ways where it's hard to even express fully with words. I hope all the ARMYs attending the tour have fun, enjoy the experience & love themselves more! 💜
Im 28 and my Girlfriend is 26 my mom is 65. We are ARMY since 2016. Huge respect for teen ARMYs but please don’t put ARMYs out as crazy teen girls cuz bro first our fandom consists of huge age bracket, second we aint crazy we’re passionate and third our fandom has a huge number of fanboys
That is so cute
Same here bro. I am also a hige fan of BTS same with my wife going to see them this Saturday, and my mom thinks they are very talented but isn't ARMY yet but working on it. 😁
There were definitely more than just teens at the concert but otherwise it was really nice seeing everyone just be happy and really thankful that BTS helped them through hard times
Im almost 40 and im happy if u call me teenager 💃💃💃💃😂😂😂😂
Great coverage and loved that you guys touched on how music can transcend language! But it's a shame that there will always be the social stigma that BTS (or boy groups in general) are only for crazy-in-love teenage girls. It would've been nice to see male fans being interviewed or older fans, and not just parents chaperoning their children.
You said everything I wanted to say.
Thank you!! That's what I am talking about💜🙌🏻
Yep! And when you watch this video, you can allready see so many fans of all ages and male fans walking by the camera and still they say teenagers, sad.
They just have bias to project on those BTS news. Mind manipulation.
@@葉美玲-r3g yep!
Yeah forget that people of all ages listen to bts not just teen.
Thanks for the spot on the BTS concert... Just FYI, a poll back in 2017 found that less than 20% of ARMY are teenagers (with over 50% over 30)... and a more recent poll found that there is a larger base over 40 than before. And I am seeing a lot of people older than teenage years in the video footage.... I get there was more than what we see in the clip, but the fanbase is VERY diverse in age, gender, nationality, language, and age.... Peace.
I'm 60 and my crowd all around the same age, we love BTS. Most of their fans are NOT teens read the stats!
Research before you put the story out. Teens are not the only fan group for BTS unless you want to downplay BTS X Army power. Please get out of that teens only groupies idea. We are living in a different world now. I am probably BTS members grandmother's age and their music got me through the worst time of my life.
OMFG I WANNA HUG THAT ONE GIRL WHO STARTED CRYING SO BAD 😢😢😢💕💕
So glad to see more adult comments, I’m 29 been a fan of the boys since I lost my grandma.
That girl who almost cried, I wish you happiness
Yes I'm a 35 year-old Latina mother and I took my daughters best time ever
im not a teenager but i guess thnx for covering this big news i've been their fan since 2014 im so happy and proud of them talent wins in the end so inspiring and so kind people
So I guess that little boy that walk by is a teenager haha
And his dad. 😂
always highlighted the word "teenagers",excuse me,, i'm 30 and an Army too.I'm sick of them trying to downgrade them
Word of advice stop referring to bts fanbase as teens, when a lot of us are not. Its incredibly rude.
Im 39 🙄 my daughters luv them. Me as their mom love bts more. Really fed up with 'teenagers' 'rabid fans' headlines.
Hey, I'm a bigger ARMY than my daughters, too. I feel ya on the "rabid fans" headlines. So annoying. While waiting for parking, we had a cop ask us about the fandom. She said she was amazed that the fandom was so diverse and of all ages. She wanted to know what we liked about BTS. When we told her she said she might have to look into them. Woo Hoo!!! A new ARMY is born.
God!!!! There you go again...TEENS!! You guys love to portray that don't u?
ikr
majority of us are 20 above
@@yoonjinlife9579 All the Armys around me are above 20. I am sure BTS has lots of teenage fans, but to sprout the word "teens" 10 times in a 3 minutes video seems like too much!!
33 yrs old here! 🙋🏻♀️ ARMYs are very diverse. 💜
FYI! Its not hundreds of fans out der! Its THOUSANDS! Its a 2 days SOLD OUT! 60k x 2! 120k eyes in 2 nights sold out concert!
He said teens because we all look so youthful DAM ARMY LOOKING GOOD SLAY WITH THAT SKIN 💜😎
BTS originally stands for Bang Tan Sonyeondan in Korean which means Bulletproof Boys! And yes theres's a lots fans in 20's'- 40's.
Thank you!! I am so done this Behind the scene name. Those are the new fans that made that up. We older fans are old school and will say the right name for BTS. But thank you for saying that too so i am not the only one. 👍
@@awesomejb9646 yeah. But BTS themselves have started using the beyond the scene thing. You can see it on their rosebowl concert tshirts.
@@magicshop96 so they are now Behind The Scene because newer fans say it is so they have to change their name while in the states?? I will keep calling them by their real name thank you. I am sorry if that came off mean but you can call them whatever you want.
@@awesomejb9646 hey calm down! I don't like that name either. I was just sharing an info that they themselves use it now. I prefer bangtan!
@@magicshop96 sorry yeah it was hard for me to come up with something that didnt sound too mean but i failed. But yeah I am an older fan, but well it is what it is.
ARMY isn’t just teenagers and girls. We are a family. A family of all ages and identities. We love and support BTS and each other. Love y’all ARMY! 💜Whether you’re a ARMY or not always remember you’re amazingly beautiful inside and out and also love y’all!💜
I'm 64yrs old and I love B.T.S!
So great to see the parents , thanks BTS thanks to created a precious moments between parents and daughters ❤️
Kpop craze?? Excusme, its just BTS craze
Teenagers? Sir, im 30 and im notary public. Im not a teenager anymore.
I'm 57 and I'm a BTS fan. No joke. Great music is for any age.
The assumption always seems to be that the adults are just chaperones of some sort. I’m a 65 yo BTS fan who flew from ATL to Fort Worth last year just for a BTS concert. My twitter feed is filled with fans 20-72 years old, both male & female. I have two sisters, 68 & 62, who knew BTS won Top Group/Duo at the BBMAs this year almost as soon as I did... they are >thisclose< to becoming part of the BTS ARMY... lol. If you view some of the demographic samples, you will see that the majority of BTS fans range in the 20-50 yo categories which is far higher than the age groups of other currently popular artists. The “teenager” descriptive is definitely overused by the media IMO.
Maybe for reporters 30/40 y/o still consider teenagers😏...
Lol i'm 27 year old, holds a degree, owns a car, and has a 9-5 job. Thanks for calling me a teenager just cuz I love BTS.
I am 58 , a grandmother and a BTS fan since 2016. If BTS will have a concert near my area again, I will ask my daughter to accompany me.
Im 47,my wife 43 and our 15 yo daughter and 10 yo son got us into the bts army ...BTS RULES!!!!!!!!
I'm also a fan of army's..love you fams
33years old
And i'm a proud ARMY.. If one of the mother only accompany her doughter, it doesn't mean the other older do so, i bet a lot of older ARMY also there, it just we dont showing much, we more calm and not that expresive..even tho our heart gonna explode knowing will meet the boys..
Lol my my is really big fan of bts she's 50 now she's turning 51 in May 17 we hoping to see bts in May 15 in GMA summer concert🙏🙏💜💜
Are you serious?!!! I'm 26. My mother who is 44 is ARMY. I was at the concert on 5/4 and I saw so many men and people of all ages and the majority aren't there just to accompany their kids. Ridiculous. Do your research.
Many of these ppl you are showing are in their 20's and 30's. But no, you have to interpreting them as teenagers. Is US news incompetent or trying to manipulate public opinion?!
Pretty sure most of these "teenagers" are in their 20's or 30's
ARMY ≠ teenagers
ARMY = BTS' family (babies to seniors)
BTS ≠ Beyond The Scene
BTS = Bangtan Sonyeondan (translated: Bulletproof Boys)
Omg I was there 😂 I'm surprised they didn't get a clip of me lol
'teenagers' again. I'll be 30 next year, and people keep calling us teenagers. you all took this video yourself, but you can't even digest that there are tons of mature ARMY here. media is always media
And then you have the nerve to say "fans of all ages" and interview an older woman who knows nothing about them just to further push the agenda of "screaming teenage girls" How rude and insulting!!
Absolutely agree!
29 year old here 👋 I started following them when I was 24.... so out of my teenage years
How many times do we have to tell you that most BTS fans are not teenagers? I'm 33, a nurse who loves BTS for their music, lyrics, songwriting and composing skills, live performances, but most of all their personalities. Stop this false narrative about their fans!!!
yall starting to get annoying with this. we are passionate and strong but yall gotta stop with the “frenzy, rabid, fangirl” type of mindset. people are speaking real things here and are overlooked because they’re just “brainless fangirls”
this is why people are still finding it hard to welcome BTS’ success, because they are associating it with this fangirl narrative rather than the true experience of being a member of the ARMY. BTS are not just views and numbers. listen to the words they are saying and discuss their impact on our lives.
*sigh.*
anyways, support artists Bangtan Sonyeondan. they are legends.
Also thr guy interviewed the 1 and only woman who has no clue who they are and what they are saying. Bias news is at it again. Bias against BTS and ARMY. Also,thank you for saying the right name. 😁
I am 64 and am proud to hold claim to being #BTSARMY ....
You keep labeling ARMY as teenagers & you purposely chose a woman to say what she did ... WHY?? Start interviewing & showing the correct image of the fandom ...your news broadcasting labeling as you do has gone past irritating... why don't you try bringing news to public using the truth 😲 try something new!!
Donna L. Padilla I am 70. I am proud to be an Army too. I came to know them just last year. I have since felt so close to them already. They are truly my boys, so humble and down to earth n full of gratitude towards everyone.
@@waichingchan3103 awesome ...hello fellow #BTSARMY 💜
I was there!!! Best night ever!! Who else went on May 4th?!?
I’m literally 12 years old and i discovered bts when I was like 9 or 10 because of my big brother💜
aww the fans look very sweet ^^ im sure they all had a great time’
The stigma of boyband = teen fans 🙄. I was at both D1 & D2 of their Rosebowl Stadium Concert and on D2 this was said “Where ever you’re from, whatever you’re speaking, or however old you are...tonight we are one.......At the same time you guys were BTS and we were your Army” - Kim Namjoon. Let that sink in. I am 30......and am a fan! Fans come in all different forms and not just teens sir!
Really dude teenagers, Ugh, most of the (family) are in our 20s and 30s
And guys and not just teenage screaming girls. They always do this everytime they cover a concert of theirs.
51 year old ARMY here and I was at that concert! ARMY represented BTS well in this little clip. ARMIES are good people. It was the nicest crowd I've ever seen.
💙💛❤🖤💜💚🧡
It's not only teenagers who love bts for God sake, when they say it like that we can all get the meaning behind it, I am 25 I am not teen at all , my entire environment friends family are not teen , they love bts and I am not the only one even dad loves them
MAIN DEMOGRAPHIC IS 20s! SECOND LARGEST 30s!! Please stop with the teenage/pre-teen narrative. There's nothing wrong with young fans, but it's not accurate. The footage you are showing is negating your own script for heaven's sake!!
My mom is in her late 40's and loves BTS as much I do (I'm 27). We attended both of the Rosebowl concerts!
It's really becoming annoying....
ARMY is a very diverse fandom, you can find people of all ages, different ethnicities and religions...
Not teenager😂😂😂... there are teenagers but stop generalizing
I'm 20 and my dad is 50, we're both army since 2014, a year BeFoRe their debut!!!!! There was not just teenagers there, loads and loads of adults were there if you didn't notice.
God news get the facts straight please or some people won't stop bothering you.
I'm 17 and I'm Army almost 3yrs. My life when I ain't meet bts yet was so miserable. I used to cut my class, just to hang out with my friends and Drink.I'm always fighting someone in our school, thats why I ended up to detention. I used to Hate them too. But when I was down they helped me so much, not literally but though their music. That Inspires me everyday, to change my life for the better.
[Sorry for the Grammars hehehe]
Ph Army here💜
I also love BTS so much
"teenagers". I'm tired of it and this word truly irritated me.
someone complains to the TV station, it is a non-professional report on media. Not true and not responsible !
Can you do your homework before reporting something like this Carlos? Just because we look young and joyful doesn't mean we are all teenagers. You had a chance to witness something amazing and positive yet your ignorance still decides to show.
@Mic Jack Have you been to any type of large crowd event, from music to sports? This "screaming" is staple to all of them. Don't act like adults don't scream. We do.
⚠️WARNING FELLOW ARMYS⚠️
If you are going to the concert, keep in mind that there will be MANY news reporters. Please don't show them the "teenage girl" side of the ARMY and fangirl on camera. Show them how philosophical their messages are and how they do so much to give back. Make sure to tell them how they've helped many people around the world with their positive messages during rough times. Any other things you find interesting and important too! Thank you so much! 💜💜💜💜
What's up with "Teenagers"? .. I'm 49 and my son is 24 his into opera and I'm a BTS ARMY since 2014
Its 2019 and still people think 'armys are all teens'😤 there were so many 20s and 30s armys at the venue, parent armys who went wt their kids, armys even postd a video of an elderly grandma accompanied to her seat by a staff member. Armys are very diverse and its time to understand it.
We aren't all cringe fan girl teens. I am a 15 year old Male ARMY. The fandom has huge diversity.
Yeah of course they have kid/teen fans (like myself) but they have fans of all ages and genders, I think that’s what’s amazing about army is that we’re not just one category type of fans. The fandom is diverse.💜😌
what i cant believe is that i was actually part of this whole process and ugh i love it
